Acme-Sav-On

I can’t understand why they took out the self serve check outs, now people avoid this store because the wait is too long if you only need a couple of items. Giant and the other Acme’s in the area offer this quicker service option. Sad, because this store is in a convenient location.

My husband and I avoid this store, only using it for last minute items. We much prefer the Giant shortly down Baltimore Pike, or the Giant on Township Line Road.
Produce selection is limited and poor. Often our produce is damaged or rotted. Limited organic selection, with limited non-​dairy creamer options. They recently removed self check out lanes, so lines are often longer.

This is a fairly large Acme, well stocked, VERY centrally located steps from the Home Depot in Clifton Heights, near Petco, Bed Bath & Beyond, you name it. In the middle of suburban sterility, sometimes location can be a plus. And more parking than in a small town.
The store layout is quite convenient, and it is obvious that the management takes pains to ensure a clean and comfortable environment for the customers. Specially noteworthy is the fresh vegetable section. I do wish they had a better selection of Latino products, of which there seems to be a vacuum in Delaware County.

Acme is ok. The sales are decent, but the people suck.
I got into an argument with my wife one day and after having to sleep on the couch, I called this ACME to see if they still do double coupons. The lady who answered sounded somewhat annoyed I called to ask and replied with: «It depends on what our computers tell us. Some double some don’t. Anything else?»
Lets not get started on the one lady who seems to always be at the register. I know being of a higher age and a cashier at a food store probably isn’t as ideal as retiring to Boca Raton, Florida, but that doesn’t mean you have to have an attitude with every person that comes to your line. She always seems so damn annoyed. I would have fired her. She must be someone’s mother. I’d still fire her even if she was mine.
After going a few times because their sales worked better with my coupons, I figured out the isle set up. They are horribly labeled. The sign that hangs above the isle in the front of the store tells you what’s in the first half of the isle. The sign in the BACK of the store tells you what’s in the other half of the isle. Really annoying, pointless and stupid.
Anyone who is a ‘real shopper’ if you will, would also hate how the frozen food is in the middle of the store. It works much better when it’s at one end of the store and you can get to it last so it’s not thawing and/​or melting all over their damn floor.
I do love Jim though! He’s awesome! He is the blind bag guy they have who refuses to let his lack of eye sight stop him from being a functional person in society. Awesome!

I used to shop at Acme years ago — and it left a bad taste in my mouth as far as cleanliness, quality of items and price. I almost didn’t stop, but it was on my way home and I didn’t feel like wasting the gas or time to go out of my way. I took a chance, and this Acme was a pleasant surprise!
The cleanliness of the store shows as soon as you walk in! Nothing on the floor, things are arranged beautifully and it is easy to find what you are looking for. I believe you can learn a lot about a store by looking at its produce section — and this one was beautiful! I came with certain ingredients in mind but wound up buying a few extra items because I just couldn’t resist!
The prices for some items were still a bit higher than I would’ve liked (I am used to PriceRite prices), but this store definitely had some of the ingredients that I couldn’t normally find at my local store.
I guess you really can’t judge an Acme by it’s cover! ;-)
